John Davies, the renowned English landscape photographer, set up his camera in northern France, near B\u00e9thune. Landscapes of the mining basin, the slag heaps have altered the very structure of the territory, offering the photographer the opportunity to create variations on this geographical feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As is his custom, Davies captures in a wide shot what structures these landscapes, bear witness to a bygone industry. This perspective on the world of mining is not new for the photographer. Indeed, in the 1980s, John Davies photographed English mining landscapes, notably in Wales, a series that helped establish his considerable talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thus, the book’s structure revisits the photographer’s career, juxtaposing nearly thirty years of work in Great Britain with his most recent work in France. It also contrasts two regions of two countries that mining has fundamentally transformed, and with which the reader will undoubtedly find many commonalities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":17317,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"nature":[1281],"statutdeslivres":[],"class_list":["post-25338","livre","type-livre","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nature-photographie-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
